After this mornings Def update two of my systems that have SAS started flagging Avast as a trojan. So i ran scans on all of my systems and all that have SAS installed on them are flagging my Avast antivirus as the above trojan agents.

Same thing has happened to me, I also use Avast. Currently running a scan, and 4 different trojans detected, all related to Avast software. I foresee problems if I allow all this to be quarantined. This needs a quick response from SAS.

I too am having problems, but mine seem a little more complicated than what I've read below.

I have been using the free SUPERAntiSpyware for quite a long time and finally purchased it. If this isn't fixed, I want my money back.

On my main desktop, after I scanned and then quarantined/removed these Trojan infections, I rebooted and that action completely disabled Avast. I had to go through the whole process of uninstalling and reinstalling, and then everything was fine, until I opened SAS, when I got the warning window all over again. I just disabled it.

I have an older Gateway laptop on which I also have SAS and Avast. When I scanned I got the same 16 Trojan infections found on my desktop. After quarantining then I did NOT reboot. Avast continued to work; I did a scan with it. When I rescanned with SAS it showed that nothing was found.

However, back to my desktop, where the problem doesn't seem to be going away. It seems to have gotten rid of the problem on my little laptop, but not on my desktop. I just opened SAS again and clicked to scan. It is finding the problems all over again and I've got the warning again.

I can't seem to attach a file here. Every time I try it says: Error The server returned an error during upload.

Update: I downloaded and installed the updates mentioned above, but so far SAS is still finding 3 of these Trojans.

Update: I ran SAS yet again and this time it came out clear. Now I just hope when I have to restart it doesn't disable my Avast again.

Trust the selected items and re-scan. You may have to re-install Avast if SAS has cleaned it already to replace missing files.You may not be able to trust items once they have been cleaned. uninstall Avast, Uninstall SAS. Re-install Avast first, then re- install SAS, Run scan and then you can trust items.

I posted earlier. Thought everything was ok. Then I had to do a restart and after that Avast is again completely disabled.

I'm running a scan with SAS right now.

It did not find any of these avast-related Trojans so I don't know what's going on.

I guess I will uninstall SAS, uninstall Avast again and then reinstall both and see what happens.

UPDATE: I just un- and reinstalled Avast for the second time today, and un- and reinstalled SAS. I did a scan with SAS and all was ok. Now I'm going to do a restart again and if I have to start this process for a third time I may have to say good-bye to SAS.

Hi guyz, i am here also for saying something about Trojan.Agent/Gen-Siggen. I have been also infected by this trojan. It is very critical and also it is very difficult to remove from PC. But, i have a solution by which i have completely removed this trojan from my PC. I hope all of you can also remove this threat from your PC with this process. The process is:

You have to update your PC by regularly applying patches and fixes provided by windows.

You should have a powerful antivirus program installed and updated.

You have to install a strong firewall program in your security system.
